PnB Rock dead at 30 after being shot in Los Angeles
PnB Rock was killed in a South Los Angeles shooting while getting robbed on Monday afternoon. The L.A. Times reported the news and the LAPD confirmed to Complex that a victim was fatally shot.
The Philadelphia native, Rakim Hasheem Allen, was 30 years old. He leaves two little girls behind.
The Times wrote that the shooting happened at 1:15 p.m. at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ’N Waffles as PnB Rock was “being robbed of his jewelry.”
TMZ said law enforcement received a call about the incident at 1:23 p.m. and that graphic footage circulating online showed him “fighting for his life.” Police told media the victim was pronounced dead at a hospital at 1:59 p.m.
“The victim was sitting at a table eating with a female witness when he was approached by the suspect,” Los Angeles Police Capt. Kelly Muniz says in one of the clips below, without naming PnB Rock. “The suspect then brandished a firearm and demanded his property. The suspect then fired multiple rounds and then appears to remove some property, to what extent we don’t know at this time.”
The artist’s girlfriend Stephanie Sibounheuang, with whom he shared 2-year-old daughter Xuri, reportedly posted and deleted that they were eating at Roscoe’s on her Instagram which shows the location of the restaurant.
